Chapter 306: Yuan Tan is defeated

In the sea of fire, Yuan soldiers and Yuan generals were all in a mess, like a fly without a head, fleeing in all directions, but the narrow streets, crowded, billowing smoke, could not distinguish between east and west, north and south, 100,000 Yuan soldiers were burned to death by fire, smoked to death, trampled to death by each other in the plain city, countless, the firelight has reflected half of the sky, Yuan Bing's screams, wails are endless.

What made Yuan Bing even more frightened was that the jars containing unknown liquids were surrounded by fire and soon burst into flames, like a blazing fire cooking oil, the flames were several times over, sparks splashed everywhere, and the passing sergeants were all hit, once the fire was on the body, it was impossible to extinguish, and many soldiers rolled on the ground to no avail, and could only be burned into a section of scorched wood before their eyes. Many jars were hidden somewhere, and the sound of explosions came and went, and the soldiers of Yuan were all frightened.

Yuan Tan got on the horse and ordered the troops to immediately break through outside the city. Yuan Bing opened the city gate of the south gate, and as soon as he appeared, the ambush outside the city was exhausted, and the arrows were flying, and he couldn't rush out at all. The situation at the east gate and the north gate was the same, the plain soldiers had a large number of archers in ambush outside the city, and as soon as the Yuan soldiers left the city, they were greeted by a rain of arrows. The city gate is only a few zhang wide, and it can only accommodate a few people at a time, and the arrow rain at the city gate is quite dense, and Yuan Bing can not break through the defense line of the Plains Army after rushing several times.

Plains City has been completely shrouded in flames and smoke, Yuan Bing's screams came and went, Yuan Tan watched the flames raging, and said angrily: "Liu Ze is so vicious, set up such a desperate plan, will we be buried in the sea of fire?" ”

Xin commented: "Don't be surprised, the eldest prince, there is no endless road." It can make the army desperately break through, as long as it can be killed out of the city, there will be a glimmer of life. ”

Yuan Tan sighed: "I regret not listening to Mr. Zhongzhi's words, and I will have this defeat!" ”

At this time, Zhang Nan came over to report: "The eldest prince, the enemy's garrison at the West Gate is lax, and the last general has led his troops to break through the West Gate, please withdraw from the West Gate as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, and led his army to the west gate. Seeing that they could escape, Sergeant Yuan rushed to the west gate. There is no longer a formation queue. There is only one thought in everyone's heart, to escape from this sea of fire and hell!

Zhang Fei had been in ambush outside the West Gate for a long time, and he let go of Yuan's front team as ordered, but he saw Yuan Tan's banner come out. Zhang Fei couldn't hold back. The first to rush forward. shouted: "Yuan Tan Xiao'er, stay your life!" Chen Zhi followed closely behind and rushed forward with five thousand ambush soldiers.

Yuan Tan was shocked, he had no intention of fighting at this moment. Flee for the road.

The main generals all fled, and the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan had the courage to face Zhang Fei again, and there was no second thought except to run away. Zhang Fei was able to kill, chased all the way, and beheaded countless people.

Killed ten miles in one go, Zhang Fei's murderous nature was undiminished, and he was still waiting to continue the pursuit, Chen Zhi hurriedly grabbed his horse's head and said: "Third master, the lord ordered that he had to chase and kill ten miles, and the third master must not disobey the military order." ”

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and shouted, "Ouch! So soon, this is ten miles away? It's really cheap Yuan Tan's kid, Zhong Erlang, withdraw your troops quickly! ”

The army was ordered to stop the pursuit and quickly retreated back. After Yuan Tan escaped for more than ten miles, he found that the pursuers were gone, and he was very happy, and he was about to collect the remnants, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the left side of the road, countless torches shining, and the iron horses rolled in.

A soldier who knew Zhao Yun told Yuan Tan that this ambush was the most elite archer cavalry of the Plains Army, Yuan Tan was shocked, and wanted to get off the horse to rest, but when he saw the archers appear, he was so frightened that he quickly ran away and fled in a hurry.

Zhao Yunti pursued his troops all the way, and Sergeant Yuan died under the bow and arrow, died under the saber, was trampled to death by the war horse, trampled to death by trampling on each other, and drowned in the water. Zhao Yun chased until dawn, and then collected his troops back.

Yuan Tan ran wildly all night, exhausted and exhausted, and almost fell off his horse, but fortunately Zhao Yun stopped the pursuit, and he could be regarded as relieved. Then Zhang Nan and other generals led their troops to flee, all of them were smoky and burning, losing their armor and losing their armor, and the wolves were unbearable. Yuan Tan himself was no better, the cloak on his back was burned off in half, his hair and eyebrows were also burned to pieces, and most of the soldiers and horses were damaged, so he had to go to see Yuan Shao in frustration.

Yuan Shao's army is also coming very fast, and it has been stationed in Qingliu Town. Yuan Tan saw his father and told him about his defeat. Yuan Shao said angrily: "Liu Zepifu, bully me too much!" I swear to destroy it! "Send a sentry horse to find out that Liu Ze has now abandoned Pingyuan City, and left in the direction of Wenjindu with the army and civilians. So Yuan Shao urged the three armies, divided the troops into eight routes, spread all over the mountains and fields, and killed them on the plains.

Zhao Yun pursued Yuan Tan until dawn, and then obeyed the general's order and quickly retreated. Zhao Yun's bow and horse riding were fast, but in one day, he led the army to Wenjin Ferry, but saw that Wenjin Ferry was crowded, and the ferries on the Yellow River were shuttling back and forth, but it was also difficult to solve the congestion. Zhao Yun couldn't help but worry, three thousand horses and archers, even people and horses, is not a small number, Yuan Bing's pursuit is coming, when will he be able to cross the Yellow River?

When he was worried, Wu Anguo came over with a smile and said, "General Zilong, don't worry, the lord has already ordered the last general to wait here, and the ferry boat for archers has already been prepared, just wait for General Zilong to get on board." "Wu Anguo and Yu Poison were sent by Liu Ze to Wenjin Ferry to be responsible for directing the ferry and guiding the people, the archers and cavalry were accompanied by men and horses, covering a large area, and the general small ferries could not accommodate them at all, Liu Ze specially arranged for several large ferries to wait in Wenjin Ferry, and the archers were transported alone.

Zhao Yun watched the archers board the ship one after another, and then he was relieved.

Wu Anguo said: "The enemy soldiers are coming, General Zilong should cross the river first." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said calmly: "If there is still one person and one horse stranded on the west bank of the three thousand bow horses, Zhao will never be able to cross the river!" ”

It is easy to march, but it is not easy to cross the river, and there are only a few ferries arranged for the archers, which can only carry about 200 horsemen at a time, and the water surface of the Yellow River is very wide, and it takes an hour or two to go back and forth, and all 3,000 archers have to cross the river, so it seems that it will take some time.

The crossing of the river on the side of the archers was relatively orderly, and the situation on the side of the infantry and the people was much more chaotic, although Yu Poison repeatedly commanded the soldiers to build a blockade line. The discipline of the army was strict, but there was no robbery of the ferry, but the common people did not have that suzhì, many people forcibly broke through the blockade, climbed to the ferry with their bare hands, the ferry was overcrowded, the waterline was repeatedly lowered, one ferry boat capsized in the water before it could leave the shore, and the whole ferry was in chaos.

Zhang Fei also led the army to the ferry, and when he saw this situation, he was furious, and whipped it fiercely, hitting several civilians who tried to pull the boat to run away, which could be regarded as a slight stabilization of the situation.

"Yu Poison, why is this the case?"

Yu Poison was also very helpless, and said: "When the common people heard that Yuan's soldiers were coming, they were terrified, and they all rushed to leave by boat first, so this situation was created, and the lord did not order that military law could be imposed on the people, and the last general could not suppress it." ”

"How can this be reasonable, when will we be able to cross the river in such chaos! Stand down and let me command. Zhang Fei was not polite, and immediately refuted Yu Poison's command, holding a horse whip, and shouted in a loud voice: "Whether it is a soldier or an ordinary person, they all come here to line up and gather!" Those who refuse to queue up are not allowed to cross the river! Those who have the courage to break into the boundary and get on the ship, regardless of military or civilian, will be engaged in military law! ”

Zhang Fei's voice was like a thunderbolt, which shook everyone's ears, and as soon as he shouted like this, the chaotic scene immediately quieted down. Zhang Fei ordered people to pull four long ropes and draw two passages, one passage for soldiers and one passage for ordinary people, and those who did not stand in the rope passage to line up were not allowed to get on the boat.

Everyone was afraid, but obediently obeyed Zhang Fei's order and waited in line for the ferry, and the chaotic order of the ferry port was suddenly changed.

Yu Poison was greatly admired: "The third master still has a way!" ”

Zhang Fei grinned and said, "These Diao people, you really can't do it without some means!" ”

By the afternoon of the next day, the news came that Yuan's Eighth Route Army was approaching, and the archers on Zhao Yun's side were almost crossed, only thirty or forty horsemen remained, and as long as one more ferry boat came, all three thousand archers could cross the Yellow River.

The ferry has gradually sailed back, and Wu Anguo has also settled down, and the task of the main bus can be regarded as completed. "General Zilong, you quickly take the remaining archers across the river, and I can reply to the lord."

Zhao Yun asked, "Where is the lord?" ”

Wu Anguo shook his head and said: "This last general doesn't know, the ferry is in chaos, and I can't figure out whether the lord has crossed the river." ”

Zhao Yun groaned and said: "The army and civilians have not all crossed the river yet, and the lord will not go first, you and arrange the remaining archers to cross the river, and I will go to the lord." ”

"This ...... The lord's general order is to arrange for me to cross the river with all the bows and horses, if General Zilong does not pass the river, how can I return to the lord? Wu Anguo said anxiously.

At this moment, Pan Feng led several people to lead a carriage to the ferry quickly, looking panicked, Zhao Yun was suspicious, and stepped forward and said, "Why is Commander Pan so panicked?" ”

Pan Feng said eagerly: "Under the order of the lord to protect the lady and the young master to retreat to the ferry, the car drove slowly, and was caught up by Yuan Bing on the way, and fought desperately under the bottom, so he sacrificed his life to protect the lady and highlighted the encirclement, but the young master and Miss Cai Er were caught in the chaos, and they did not dare to delay when they were worried about the safety of their wife, so they rushed to the ferry first." ”

"Where's Madame?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise.

Cai Yan opened the curtain at this time, with a sad and frightened face.

"Zhao Yun see Madame." Zhao Yun hurriedly saluted.

Cai Yan burst into tears and said eagerly: "Zilong, please save Wei'er and my sister." ”

"Madam, don't worry, even if it is the Longtan Dragon's Cave, Yun will save the young master back!" Zhao Yun didn't dare to delay, bid farewell to Cai Yan, and asked Pan Feng for direction. (To be continued......)
